Abstract
This work presents a substantiation of the parameters of the soil preparation module in a potato planting machine system, which is used for strip milling and primary covering of potato seeds. The proposed methodology allows describing the geometric and kinematic parameters of the milling drum blade, whose knife is formed by several sections, determining initial conditions and modeling the flight trajectories of soil chips. It also covers their interaction with the guiding casing surface, considering either reflection or sliding of soil particles into the target zone for primary covering of potato seeds. Based on the conducted analysis, an analytical expression for the shape of the casing is proposed, which, when interacting with soil chips, meets the requirement of directing soil particles into the target seed row zone.
